In addition to material selection and component design, there are other equally important considerations that must
be addressed in the overall process of design selection. One of these is process design, which not only affects cost and
ease of production, but may also impact the final microstructure and mechanical properties of the component being
produced. While there are various texts which address a particular process design such as forging, casting, and
rolling, there is a need for a single text that will provide an overview of these processes as they relate to metallurgical
component design. The objective of this text is to provide a thorough overview of the more important processes from
the standpoint of the effect of design.
There are an extensive array of process designs discussed in this book. In Part One, Chapters 1 and 2 provide an
overview of hot and cold forming process design, which includes forging process design. Chapter 3 details the effect
of steel rolling process on microstructure and properties. Chapter 4 provides the most thorough and current over-
view on aluminum rolling process design available anywhere. Chapter 5 discusses semisolid metal-forming design.
Chapter 6 provides a rigorous overview of the principles of aluminum extrusion process design and Chapter 7 is a
comprehensive review of superplastic forming design.
Part Two focuses on casting process design for steel and aluminum, including continuous process designs in
addition to a summary of various foundry casting process designs. Extensive guidelines for die casting process design
are also included.
Various heat treatment practices are conducted to achieve the desired microstructural and mechanical properties
of a particular material. Proper design is vital to the end-use properties of the component being produced. Part Three
deals with various heat-treatment topics including: an overview of the effect of heat-treatment process design on
hardening, tempering, annealing and other properties, carburizing and carbonitriding, nitriding, induction heating,
and laser hardening. Chapter 17 discusses the use of quench factor analysis for selection of appropriate quench
media for aluminum processing. Chapter 18 covers the use of intensive quenching methodology to provide superior
compressive stresses and fatigue properties and/or the replacement of more expensive steel alloys with less expensive
plain-carbon steels.
Part Four deals with a topic of ever-increasing importance—surface engineering. This section includes topics on
ion implantation, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and thermal spray process
design. Coating process design for surface endurance is also discussed.
In Part Five, Chapter 22 provides information on designing for machining processes, which is a key topic in
metallurgical process design.
This book is an invaluable reference for persons involved in any aspect of product design including metallurgists,
material scientists, product and process engineers, and component designers. It is also appropriate for use in an
advanced undergraduate or graduate class on material design.

V. DESIGN ISSUES TO PREVENT FAILURES Flow localization can occur in the workpiece during
deformation. The common cause of flow localization is a
dead metal zone between the workpiece and the tooling.
A. Geometrical and Mechanics Issues
Poor lubrication in forging can cause sticking friction
The shape of the tooling and the initial shape of the
workpiece are important geometrical factors for bulk de-
formation processes. Incorrect choices of these geometri-
cal factors can lead to problems during deformation, or

not achieved because the specimen is compressed between
two flat platens. The compression causes the cross-
sectional area to increase and the friction that exists at
the top and bottom surfaces, where the specimen is in

nonuniform flow by bulging. A bulged sample is a clear
indication that the stress state was not uniaxial.

The upper-bound technique is an energy method where
the energy per unit time needed by the workpiece to
undergo deformation is set equal to the externally
supplied energy per unit time. The primary power (energy
per time) terms that must be calculated for the workpiece
include: the internal power of deformation, the power to
overcome friction, and the shear power. The internal
power is determined from the assumed velocity field and
is calculated from the strain rate field. The frictional
power term is the power needed to overcome any tool-
workpiece frictional interaction. The constant friction
factor model is usually assumed for this type of analysis.
The shear power is determined by calculating the energy
per unit time associated with the internal shear that
occurs over any assumed internal surfaces of velocity
